One of my favorite quotes is from Simon Sinek. “Regardless of WHAT we do in our lives, our WHY—our driving purpose, cause or belief—never changes.” I wake up every morning before I start my day thinking about my Whys.

A favorite affirmation (Self-Belief) is “I have faith in my skills and abilities”. What I like about this affirmation is to always believe in yourself and have trust in god. Believe in yourself and ability. Self Efficacy means believing in your own ability. This makes it easier to deal with set backs because you have confidence in your own strength. You are also more involved in all the challenges facing you because you are convinced that you can make a difference. You turn faith into action and strive for your goals and dreams. Never give up!
